Gatekeeping fitness is NOT the vibe and never will be. EVERYONE who wants to add health and fitness into their lives deserves to take up space and feel welcomed. On today’s episode Kelsea and Rachael chat about Equinox, a self proclaimed “luxury fitness club” who decided they “Don’t Speak January”. Well, we don’t speak elitism.
